Debauched Halo

An educated young woman yields to society’s expectations and tries to find a man. In this process, she must undergo various inner and outward changes, subtle at times, violent at others, but always managed by others.

Film notes

Visually, the film plays with a surprisingly broad array of conventions that combine to expose a highly artificial construct, which reflects the values and standards internalised by the protagonist.

While hyperbolic elements of parody and comedy prevent the viewers from despairing over Kosovar society’s double standards, this seemingly light film addresses taboos and palpably transports fury.
